Upto 1.5 inch as marketed but I'm not sure how accurate is that, once the springs settle in.

Here's my KW v2 lowered at about 1-1.2 inch. I got about less than a quarter inch remaining at the rear height adjusters before they reach the lowest drop. That's on 275/35/18 tyres (front/rear).

seems to me like kw would not fill in the gap on a 19 " rim with 265/35 or275/35

Maybe it will leave about a few mm gap when you reach the minimum drop. More that that, the wheel alignments will be totally messed up.

Weird thing is, my buddy's KW V1 slammed his G37 hellaflush style even though he's got the ride height set at maximum. lol.

Actually it will appear lower with 19's. a 275/35-19 is almost a full inch taller than a 275/35-18 that is in the pic on the above car. So with the proper height tire , the tire will actually be tucked into the fender, or you would have to lift the car up a few to make it even with the fender.
